Administering BRI parameters

Last Updated : Jul 20, 2020 |
Prolog information
  1. Enter bri <slot-address>, where <slot-address> is any permitted port.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The command line prompt changes to sls-bri <slot-address>. If you want to remove the BRI link from the SLS administration, enter exit to leave the second-level bri context and return to the (super-sls)# context, and then enter clear bri <slot-address>.
  2. Enter set name <name> to identify the user name for the DS1 trunk.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Use the 1-27 character name, as specified on CM (add trunk-group n). Type the name string inside double quotes.
  3. Enter set interface <glare-mode> to specify the glare-handling convention.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    <glare-mode> can be one of the following values:
    For non-QSIG calls:
    For QSIG calls:
  4. If the BRI link is employed with ISDN, and the glare-handling convention is specified as peerMaster or peerSlave for the ISDN link (set in Step 3),
  5. Enter set side <side> to specify the glare mode: either
  6. .
  7. If the BRI link is employed with ISDN, enter set country-protocol <country-code> to specify the ISDN Layer 3 country protocol type, where <country-code> is any of the values listed in ISDN Layer 3 country codes.
  8. If the BRI link is employed with ISDN, enter set bearer-capability <bearer> to set the Information Transfer Rate field of the Bearer Capability IE, where bearer is one of the following values:
  9. Enter set interface-companding <type> to set the far-end companding method, where <type> is one of the following values:
  10. If the BRI link is employed with ISDN, enter set tei-assignment <tei> to select the method by which the Layer 2 (LAPD) protocol obtains its Terminal Endpoint Identification (TEI) address.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    tei is one of the following values:
  11. Enter set directory-number-a <number> to assign a directory number to the B1 channel of the BRI link.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    <number> is the provisioned number received from the network provider. The number value must be identical to the number the network provider has assigned to the circuit.
  12. Enter set directory-number-b <number> to assign a directory number to the B2 channel of the BRI link.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    <number> is the provisioned number received from the network provider. The number value must be identical to the number the network provider has assigned to the circuit.
  13. Enter set spid-a number to assign an SPID to the B1 channel of the BRI link.
  14. Enter set spid-b number to assign an SPID to the B2 channel of the BRI link.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    All BRI links must have SPIDs properly configured for the link to function. SPIDs are received from the network service provider.
  15. If the BRI link is employed with ISDN, enter set-endpoint-init {yes | no} to determine whether or not the far-end supports endpoint initialization.
  16. If the BRI link is employed with ISDN, enter set layer1-stable {yes | no} to determine whether or not to keep the physical layer active (stable) between calls.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Some European countries require that the physical layer is deactivated when there is no active call.
  17. Enter show to check the BRI administration.
    STEP RESULT:
    The report lists the BRI parameters. For example:
    Name = BRI-SLS1
    BRI   Interface    Side   Country   Bearer   Compand   Endpt-Init   Layer1-Stable
    ---   ---------    ----   --------  ------   -------   ----------   -------------
    v301       user       a   country1  speech      ulaw          yes             yes
    Dir-NumberA Dir-NumberB Spid-A          Spid-B
    ----------- ----------- -------------- --------------
     3033234567  3033234568 30332345671111 30332345681111
  18. Enter exit to leave the bri context in SLS.
